Volkswagen Golf MK V (2004 to date)
Introduction
The Volkswagen Golf Mk V represents an interesting case study in product development. Many cars grow bigger and heavier over successive iterations until a critical point is reached, with the manufacturer asking themselves exactly what sort of car they are producing. This tends to result in a reappraisal and, more often than not, a smarter, better car. There are countless examples of this occurring and with the Golf, that moment came in February 2004 with the launch of the Mk V model. Used examples are now filtering onto the market, giving those who can afford it the opportunity discover what all the fuss is about.

Camshaft Design
The camshaft plays an important role in the SportTuning of your water-cooled VW. The correct application of camshaft design will ensure a proper balance between drivability and performance.
Race cams normally have rough idling characteristics due to the large overlap required for high rpm power. Street cams generally use a short duration and keep the lobe centers spread apart to prevent too much overlap. Too much overlap on fuel injected cars equipped with Lambda is especially bad. This can cause the airflow sensor to buffet up and down, forcing the system to overcompensate in either direction in an attempt to keep the CO in check.

My name is Alan Meaker, I am the Motorsport Manager for Toyo Tyres (UK)
Ltd.
I was at Rockingham on the Saturday 1st March at the LOT trackday and
worked with a couple of cars using our R888 tyre regarding pressures and
tread temperatures.
What I would like to do is to offer some advice on tyre temperatures and
pressures and how to achieve the best from our tyres when taking part
in either trackdays or racing.
The R888 has a semi race construction (very stiff) and a race tread
compound. The optimum tread temperature range is between 85C and 95C
measured using a probe type pyrometer, and ideally a maximum ...

The Salford Van Hire Golf
Not long ago I did my first track day at Rockingham in my MkV 2.0 TDI. Was a great day and the car was fantastic. Especially as I use the car everyday and managed to drive 150 miles to the track, do just under 100 miles on the track, and then drive back on one tank.

So after not so much thought and an evaluation of my small amount of funds I thought I’d take a leap and buy a project car myself. My MkV has just under 200bhp and 350ft/lbs of torque which is the most I wanted to go up to on front wheels and every driver in order to keep it controlable ...

Vinicius Roque: Friend your tutorial was the best I’ve seen is to be congratulated!п»ї
03VWJetta4life: I know you may not be the creator of this video, but any idea if there is an easier way to get to the lights on the side (just before he pulls the bumper off, he mentions them) without taking off the bumper? I need to do this within the next week.
BMAC VAGS: rear bumper is pretty much the same with screws around the edges, the only thing is the hidden screws under the rear lights. You will have to remove the lights to gain access
Daniel Espinoza: 2 Questions: How long did it take you to remove it the 1st time? What ...

SAO PAULO (AP) — The cars roll endlessly off the local assembly lines of the industry’s biggest automakers, more than 10,000 a day, into the eager hands of Brazil’s new middle class. The shiny new Fords, Fiats, and Chevrolets tell the tale of an economy in full bloom that now boasts the fourth largest auto market in the world.
What happens once those vehicles hit the streets, however, is shaping up as a national tragedy, experts say, with thousands of Brazilians … every year in auto accidents that in many cases shouldn’t have proven fatal.
The culprits are the cars themselves, produced with weaker welds, scant safety features and inferior materials compared to similar models ...
